© 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC – All Rights Reserved 5INTRODUCTION   Headquartered in New York City since 2007, Persistent Systems LLC is a global communications technology company which develops, manufactures and integrates a patented and secure Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) system: Wave Relay®.  The company’s industry leading R&D team has designed wireless networking protocols to support their cutting edge Wave Relay® system and technology.  Wave Relay® is capable of running real-time data, video, voice and other applications under the most difficult and unpredictable conditions.  Their suite of products is field proven and utilized in Commercial, Military, Government, Industrial, Agriculture, Mining, Oil and Gas, Robotics, and Unmanned System markets. The Wave Relay® System is a peer-to-peer wireless MANET networking solution in which there is no master node. If any device fails, the rest of the devices continue to commu nicate using any remaining connectivity. By eliminating master nodes, gateways, access points, and central coordinators from the design, Wave Relay® delivers high levels of fault tolerance regardless of which nodes might fail. The system is designed to maximize the capacity of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum and to minimize the network overhead. While optimizing efficiency, Wave Relay® also implements tech niques that increase multicast reliability. The advanced multicast functionality allows the system to support both multicast voice and video over IP. Wave Relay® is designed to maintain high bandwidth con nectivity among devices that are on the move. The system is scalable, enabling it to incorporate unlimited meshed devices into the wireless network, where the devices themselves form the communication infrastructure. Even in high ly dynamic environments, the system is able to maintain connectivity by rapidly re-routing data. Wave Relay® “self-form” and “self-heal” as nodes move unpredictably throughout the network, and Wave Relay® routing adapts in less than a second to fluctuations in topology and other environmental conditions, continuously maximizing the communication performance. Due to Wave Relay’s® architecture, deploying the system and establishing the network are as easy as plugging in an Ethernet cable. The system operates on the data link layer (OSI Layer 2) rather than the network layer (Layer 3), facilitating plug-and-play operation.   Wave Relay® is a seamless wireless networking system offering a dynamic and reliable solution for all mobile networking needs. Wave Relay® offers all of these capabilities in an inte grated and cost-effective package.

© 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC – All Rights Reserved18When a node is shipped from the factory, it is in a state that requires configuration. Nodes can be configured by using the Web Management Interface or through the Management API. Follow the steps under “Initial Node Configuration” to put the nodes into an opera-tional state. The basic steps required to configure a node to an operational state are:SET ENCRYPTION KEYA key must be set in order for a node to communicate with other nodes in the net-work. In order for two nodes to communicate, they must share a matching encryp-tion key and crytpo mode. SET CHANNELEach radio module on a node should be assigned a center frequency and channel width. In order for two nodes to communicate, each node must have at least one radio that shares the same center frequency and channel width. SET IP ADDRESSDuring node configuration, a node needs to be assigned a unique management IP address. This management IP address is used for monitoring, configuration, and device services (PTT, Google™ Earth, Tracking, RS-232, etc.). In the event that two nodes are unable to communicate after initial configuration, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section starting on page 104.CONFIGURATION DEVICE OPERATION

© 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC – All Rights Reserved 23For your computer to be able to communicate with the Wave Relay®, it must have an IP address that is in the same IP subnet mask as the Wave Relay®’s IP address. A subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 means that the computer can communicate with another device that has an IP address matching the first three numbers of its own IP address. No Default Gateway or DNS server configuration is required; however they can be configured if necessary.  Most computers are capable of having more then one IP address configured on a single Ethernet adapter. It is recommended that you add all three addresses to your wired Ethernet adapter so that you can easily manage your network.CONFIGURING YOUR COMPUTER’S IP ADDRESSWINDOWS:Start > Network (Right Click) > Properties Change Adapter Settings (Windows Vista / 7 only) Local Area Connection (Right Click) >  Properties Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Click Properties Select Use the following IP AddressClick Advanced…Click Add…Enter IP Address and Subnet maskClick Add and repeat for all IP Addresses LINUX:[sudo] ifconfig eth0 10.4.1.10/24 [sudo] ip addr add 10.3.1.10/24 dev eth0 [sudo] ip addr add 10.3.2.10/24 dev eth0WEB MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

© 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC – All Rights Reserved 33STEP 1: LOAD CONFIGURATION FILE INTO ALL OTHER NODES When setting up a network of new nodes from the factory, use the configuration file saved in the “Store Configuration File” step to upload the settings from the previously configured node into the new node. During this process, node specific settings (including IP Address, Radio Name, and other radio specific settings) can be configured separately for each node while preserving all other settings from the configuration file.1.  Click “Node Configuration” > “Config Management.”2.  In the Load Configuration menu, select “network (require all)” or “network (any available)” to upload configuration settings to all nodes in the network.  The “network (require all)” setting will require all nodes in the network be available for any changes to be applied.  If not all nodes are available, no changes will be applied.  The “network (any available)” setting will apply changes to available nodes only.3.  Click the “Choose File” button to find the the configuration file saved in the “Store Configuration File” step.4.  Click the “Load” button to upload configuration settings to other nodes in the network.STEP 2: LOAD KEY INTO ALL OTHER NODESThe security key is NOT stored in the configuration file.  You must load the key separately.  1.  Select the “Security” tab in the Web Management Interface.2.  In the “Set Key” box, select “network (require all)” or “network (any available)” to upload the security key to all nodes in the network. The “network (require all)” setting will require all nodes in the network be available for any changes to be applied.  If not all nodes are available, no changes will be applied.  The “network (any available)” setting will apply changes to available nodes only.3.  Select the Crypto Mode chosen in Step 6 of First Node Configuration from the drop-down menu.4.  Copy the security key from the text file saved in Step 6 of First Node Configura-tion and paste the security into the “Enter key” field.  All nodes MUST have the same security key to communicate.INITIAL NODE CONFIGURATION
© 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC – All Rights Reserved34STEP 3: VERIFY NODES ARE COMMUNICATINGAfter nodes have been configured, the connectivity of the nodes should be checked.1.  Ensure that all nodes are turned on, that at least one radio on each node has an antenna and is set to the same channel as the other nodes, and that each node has the same key. 2.  Access one of the nodes and verify connectivity to all the nodes.  Click “Node Status” > “Neighbor Status.” The figure below displays the Node Neighbor Status, which shows which of the node’s radios are communicating with other radios. This figure shows that Radio 1 is communicating with one other radio in a neighbor node.STEP 4: PUSH NODE LIST TO NETWORK To be able to control configuration settings for the entire network from any node in the network rather than just this node, the user must push the Node List to all other nodes in the network.1.  Click “Network Configuration” > “Network Node List” > “Push Management List to Network.”  This function will share the Node List configured on this node with all nodes in the Node List. INITIAL NODE CONFIGURATION
© 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC – All Rights Reserved 35STEP 5: SET MANAGEMENT PASSWORD After all nodes have been configured, the management password should be changed.1.  Click “Network Configuration” > “Network Password.”2.  Enter the old password in the “Old Password” field.3.  Enter the new password in both “New Password” fields.4.  Click the “Change” button to change the management password. The management password will be changed on all nodes in the node list.  The current node list is displayed at the bottom of the page.INITIAL NODE CONFIGURATION
© 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC – All Rights Reserved36The Node List contains a list of nodes specified by IP Address that are controlled by the Web Management Interface.  Any function that resides under Network Status or Network Configuration operates on, and only on, the nodes listed in the node list.  In the context of Wave Relay®, the network is defined as the set of nodes for which routing is possible.  These nodes do not need to be specified in the Node List.  By contrast, the Node List defines a set of Managed Nodes that are managed by the network operations in the Web Management Interface.  That list, however, does not restrict connectivity between nodes specified in the Node List and nodes not specified in the Node List.  Therefore, the Node List is just a management tool that defines the list of nodes on which network management functions operate.  In general, the Node List should be updated whenever the network changes in order to ensure that every node has complete and current information and is able to be monitored and controlled by the network operations in the Web Management Interface.

Since network upgrades function on all nodes in the Node List, make sure the Node List is complete and current before performing a Network Upgrade.1.  Click “Network Configuration” > “Network Upgrade.”2.  Browse and select the appropriate upgrade file.3.  Check or uncheck “Require All.” If checked, the update will be installed if and only if all the nodes in the Node List are accessible. If unchecked, the update will be installed to only those nodes in the Node List that are accessible. Network Upgrades will cause nodes to be reconfigured, an operation that causes a period of downtime. Do not perform Network Upgrades during mission critical operations that cannot tolerate such disruptions. Under such situations, perform Network Upgrades only during scheduled maintenance or other appropriate times.4.  Click the “Upload” button to upgrade firmware for all nodes in the Node List.NOTE: When upgrading or downgrading a node’s firmware, it is normal for the LED to turn off for 30 seconds then turn on.Do not unnecessarily disturb devices during a Network Upgrade. Loss of power during the Network Upgrade can permanently damage a device.To receive the latest firmware update:1.  Connect to: http://www.persistentsystems.com/requestfirmwareupdate.php2.  Fill out all fields on the page.3.  Ensure the “Receive Firmware” box is checked.4.  Click the “Submit Query” button.NETWORK UPGRADEINITIAL NODE CONFIGURATION

Note: Windows CE/XP computers do not respond to IGMP Multicast Group Queries sent by Wave Relay nodes. “Pull All Multicast” should be used in networks with Windows CE/XP computers to work around this issue.Root Gateway Priority (advanced)HIGH: Any node in your network directly connected to wired infrastructure should have priority set to “HIGH.”MEDIUM: All other non-mobile routers should be set to “MEDIUM.”LOW: Mobile routers should be set to “LOW.”DHCP Server Filter (advanced)ALLOW: Device will pass DHCP messages FROM a DHCP server which is bridged directly by one of its interfaces. Only the devices which are directly wired to the switch where the DHCP server resides need to be set to “ALLOW.”BLOCK: Device will not bridge any DHCP reply packets that it picks up off of any of its bridged interfaces. By setting all of the nodes in the network (except the nodes physically connected to the real DHCP server) to “BLOCK,” you will ensure that users of your system will always use the correct DHCP server.SNAP OUI (advanced)Controls the Subnetwork Access Protocol Organizationally Unique Identifier - The factory OUI, 0018A6, is registered to Persistent Systems, LLC with the IEEE. SNAP OUI is used to identify Wave Relay® packets. Changing this field allows the user to obscure which protocol is being used by the system. All nodes must be set to the same value or they will not communicate.
© 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC – All Rights Reserved 51RADIO CONFIGURATION(ADVANCED RADIO SETTINGS)MENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTIONMax Transmit Power (advanced)Max Transmit Power will control the radio’s maximum output power. In general, this configuration is only used to reduce the output power of a radio for regulatory compliance reasons. The factory default setting should provide the best communication performance (highest power) in all other situations.MAC Address(advanced)A custom MAC address may be used for this radio. The entered value MUST be different from ALL other radio MAC addresses used in the same network or with the same encryption key. All radios are factory configured with a globally unique MAC. Since the MAC address is unencrypted, using a custom MAC that is periodically changed can help prevent identification and tracking of the same device across multiple uses.WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE   Frequency Each radio should be a assigned a frequency. Two radios must be set to the same frequency in order to communicate. If the radio is configured to use a “Network Default” channel, the radio’s channel assignment can be managed globally by clicking “Network Configuration” > “Network Defaults.” Ensure that the frequency is set to match the radio installed in the unit. A warning will be displayed if the frequency setting does not match the radio hardware.Bandwidth Each radio should be assigned a bandwidth. Two radios must be set to the same bandwidth in order to communicate. Bandwidth should be increased for shorter distances and decreased for increased distances.Max Link Dis-tanceThe Max Link Distance should be set to the upper bound of how long any individual link in the network may need to be. All nodes on the net-work MUST be set to the same Max Link Distance.Channel Density The channel density setting controls how aggressively the radios compete for access to the shared medium. A number of nodes will be displayed in parentheses after each menu item. Choose the menu item that corre-sponds to the number of nodes in your network.Radio Preference Radio Preference instructs the routing protocol to prefer links on a radio (consider them lower cost than normal). This can be used to help shift traf-fic towards radios running on certain channels.None: None is the default factory setting. All links are considered equally.Medium: Routing protocol is more likely to use this radio to forward traffic.High: Routing protocol is significantly more likely to use this radio to forward traffic.

Standard clients such as laptops with built in 802.11 cards may access this system. If the AP is disabled, the ESSID and Beacon Interval configuration options have no effect. For maximum performance, always disable the 802.11 AP unless it is required. To use a radio as a 802.11 Access Point, the radio MUST be set to a valid 802.11 frequency and the channel width MUST be set to 20MHz.The following fields are only visible when the 802.11 Access Point is “Enabled.”Mesh Routing (ad-vanced)The Mesh Routing setting enables per radio selection of which radios participate in the multi-hop mesh routing process. In a multi-radio node where the user may only want the mesh running on the backhaul radios, this setting enables the user to specifically disable the mesh on the client access radios. Be aware that if a node is only accessible via the mesh and mesh routing is disabled, connection will be lost to that node.ESSID (advanced) Sets the name of the network that the access point advertises to clients.ESSID Visibility(advanced)The ESSID can be configured to be “Visible” or “Hidden.” Generally, the ESSID is configured to be “Visible” to make it easy for clients to connect to the access point. For additional security/privacy the ESSID can be configured as “Hidden.”AP Security (advanced) Enables or disables 802.11 security on the Access Point - Only WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access v2 with pre-shared keys) is supported.WPA2 Passphrase(advanced)Sets a shared passphrase when AP Security is set to WPA2 - The passphrase should be an ASCII string of length 8-63 characters, excluding these characters: ‘,”\&/<>AP Broadcast Rate(advanced)Controls the rate at which broadcasts are transmitted from an 802.11 Access Point - Increasing this rate can significantly increase network capacity but will reduce the range of client con-nectivity. If the rate is set too high, client devices will have trouble receiving broadcast packets from the 802.11 access point.

Each port is as-signed a VLAN ID. Untagged frames received by the port are tagged with the specified VLAN ID. Frames that are sent by the port which have a VLAN tag matching the specified VLAN ID will have their tags removed (i.e. they are sent by the port untagged).VLAN Priority (ad-vanced)Specifies the 802.11 priority of the VLAN tag added to untagged frames received by this portVLAN Trunking (ad-vanced)Controls the filtering of VLAN tagged frames that do NOT match this port’s VLAN ID - Trunking enabled: ALL non-matching VLAN tagged frames are passed (no filtering). Trunking disabled: all non-matching VLAN tagged frames are blocked (filtered).IP Mcast/Bcast Limit (advanced)Defines the maximum bandwidth allowed for IP multicast or broadcast network traffic received on the given interface and retransmitted onto the Wave Relay® network - Traffic in excess of this limit will be dropped. Units are megabits/sec (Mbps). To disable the limit, set to zero.ETHERNET CONFIGURATION(ADVANCED)MENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTIONName (advanced) A name can be assigned to each Ethernet interface.MANET Access(advanced)Controls whether MANET traffic is available on a wired Ethernet port - This setting is useful in cases where the node is physically situated in an insecure location, and you want to prevent casual passersby from eavesdropping on the MANET by physically plugging into the Ethernet port (in this case, be sure to disable access for all wired Ethernet interfaces on the node). The default setting is “Enabled,” i.e. the MANET traffic is available on the Ethernet port. Note: the permanent factory IP address for the node is still available on the Ethernet port, regardless of this setting. In addition, two Wave Relay® nodes connected via wired Ethernet can still communicate via encrypted link regardless of this setting.VLAN ID(advanced)Each Ethernet interface is a VLAN-aware bridge port. Each port is assigned a VLAN ID. Untagged frames received by the port are tagged with the specified VLAN ID. Frames that are sent by the port which have a VLAN tag matching the specified VLAN ID will have their tags removed (i.e. they are sent by the port untagged).

Trunking disabled: all non-matching VLAN tagged frames are blocked (filtered).IP Mcast/Bcast Limit (advanced)Defines the maximum bandwidth allowed for IP multicast or broadcast network traffic received on the given interface and retransmitted onto the Wave Relay® network - Traffic in excess of this limit will be dropped. Units are megabits/sec (Mbps). To disable the limit, set to zero.Routing Metric (advanced)Defines link capacity for the routing protocol - A value lower than the 100 Mbps default should be used when nodes are connected via non-switched Ethernet (e.g. a third-party point-to-point wireless link). The metric allows the routing protocol to make an intelligent decision whether it is better to route over this Ethernet port or use a faster alternate route.USB ETHERNET (ADVANCED)MENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTIONUSB Ethernet Charging PowerControls how an EUD connected via a USB Ethernet cable receives a charge from the node - Should be set to “Always On” for the Samsung Note/Note II/Note III, Motorola EUDs, and Nexus 7 and “Carrier Sense” for the Samsung Galaxy SII 9100G.

In order to use this capability, one or more Wave Relay® nodes must be setup as WRoIP gateways. A WRoIP gateway must be directly connected to an appropriately configured IP router.See Cloud RelayTM Manual WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCEMENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTIONWRoIP(advanced)WRoIP gateway nodes must have the WRoIP protocol enabled on the interface directly connected to the IP router. All other nodes should have the WRoIP protocol disabled. When the WRoIP protocol is enabled on an interface, the interface will no longer function as a normal Wave Relay® Ethernet port for connecting Ethernet devices: it will only work for connecting the IP router.Multicast Routing Mode (advanced)Selects pruning options for multicast traffic:IP Router Controlled (default):  All multicast packets travel to the cloud networkWave Relay Controlled:  Only subscribed multicast feeds are passed to the cloud network to reduce network traffic congestion.IP Address(advanced)Defines the IP address of the WRoIP gateway in the IP subnet specific to the directly connected IP router interface - WRoIP protocol packets will be sent over the IP network using this IP address.Netmask(advanced)Defines the netmask of the IP subnet specific to the directly connected IP router interfaceGateway(advanced)Defines the IP address of the IP router in the IP subnet specific to the directly connected IP router interface - WRoIP protocol packets will be forwarded to this IP address in order to be sent over the IP network.MTU(advanced)Defines the maximum transmissible unit size for the IP network - WRoIP protocol packets sent over the IP network will be limited to this MTU. All nodes that communicate over the IP network should be set to the same value.Multicast Address(advanced)Defines the multicast IP address used by the WRoIP protocol - The next higher IP multicast address will also be used by the WRoIP protocol. For example, if 239.255.90.67 is set as the multicast address, both 239.255.90.67 and 239.255.90.68 will be used.UDP Port (advanced)Defines the UDP port used by WRoIP protocol packets

This feature is available on all Wave Relay® versions. It supports DLEP Draft 00.The Wave Relay® MANET operates at Layer 2 of the OSI mode. The DLEP protocol runs between a router and its attached Wave Relay device, allowing the Wave Relay® to communicate link characteristics as they change, and convergence events (acquisition and loss of potential Layer 3 (L3) routing neighbors). Upon receipt of the signal, the local router may take whatever action it deems appropriate, such as initiating L3 discovery protocols, and/or issuing HELLO messages to converge the network on L3. On a continuing, as-needed basis, the Wave Relay devices utilize DLEP to report any characteristics of the link (bandwidth, latency, etc)to the L3 router that have changed. DLEP is independent of the link type and topology supported by the Wave Relay. •DLEP (advanced): Enable/disable the DLEP subsystem.•Local UDP Port (advanced): UDP port on the Wave Relay to receive DLEP traffic from the router.•Router IP Address (advanced): Network address of the DLEP-capable router.•Router UDP Port (advanced): UDP port on the DLEP-capable router for receiving DLEP packets.WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE

By default, Wave Relay® supports single-channel PTT voice on a specified multicast IP address and port. You can “switch channels” by specifying an alternate IP address or port. Users can talk or listen (but cannot do both simultaneously). Transmissions from an individual user are broadcast to all other users on the network. Only one person can talk at a time.  If a user tries to talk when another user is transmitting, a busy tone will be heard.To configure Push-to-Talk settings, click “Node Configuration” > “PTT Configuration.”

A typical application is for a local PC to control a distant pan/tilt camera via a serial link.  If the PC and camera cannot be colocated, then two Wave Relay® devices can be used to connect them (similar to an old-fashioned modem-to-modem link). Thus, the serial port on the local PC can be hardwired to a local Wave Relay® device and the serial port on the distant camera can be hardwired to a distant Wave Relay® device. Communication between the two devices is then relayed via the Wave Relay® network. This is called “serial-to-serial mode.”Alternatively, the PC can run emulation software that allows it to create a local virtual COM port that is configured to communicate directly with a distant network-enabled serial port (e.g. as described in RFC 2217). Thus, the distant camera is hardwired to a distant Wave Relay® device and the local PC can then connect directly to the distant device via Ethernet. This is called “virtual-to-serial mode.”To access RS-232 configuration settings, click “Node Configuration” > “RS-232 Configuration.”

Connect the serial device to be controlled (e.g. pan/tilt unit) to the serial port on the distant Wave Relay® device. Configure the RS-232 Configuration Mode on the distant Wave Relay device to “Server” and set the Serial-over-Ethernet Port as desired. Set the Serial-over-Ethernet Protocol to “Raw.” Set the serial port parameters (Baud, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Flow Control) to match those of the connected serial device (factory defaults for the Wave Relay® device are 57600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control). Click “Save” to store the settings.2.  Connect the local serial device (e.g. PC) to the serial port on the local Wave Relay® device. Set the RS-232 Configuration Mode on the local Wave Relay® device to “Client,” and set the Server IP Address and Serial-over-Ethernet Port to be those of the distant Wave Relay® device as configured in Step 1 above.  Also set the serial parameters (Baud, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Flow Control) to match those of your local serial device. Click “Save” to store the settings. CONFIGURING VIRTUAL-TO-SERIAL MODE1.  Connect and configure the serial device to be controlled (e.g. pan/tilt unit) as per Step 1 above for Configuring Serial-to-Serial mode. Set the Serial-over-Ethernet Protocol to whichever protocol is supported by your virtual client (“Raw” or “Telnet RFC 2217”).2.  Install Virtual COM port software on the local PC (Eltima Serial to Ethernet Connector v5.0 for Windows has been tested and is known to work).

A node with a radio channel set to “Network Default X” in node configuration will automatically change center frequency and bandwidth if the settings for “Network Default X” are changed in Network Default configuration.Bandwidth Each radio should be assigned a bandwidth. Two radios must be set to the same bandwidth in order to communicate. Bandwidth should be increased for shorter distances and decreased for increased distances.Max Link Dis-tanceMax Link Distance should be set to the upper bound of how long any individual link in the network may need to be. All nodes on the network MUST be set to the same Max Link Distance. A node with a radio channel set to “Network Default X” in node configuration will automatically change Max Link Distance if the settings for “Network Default X” are changed in Network Default configuration.Channel Density The channel density setting controls how aggressively the radios compete for access to the shared medium. A number of nodes will be displayed in parentheses after each menu item. Choose the menu item that corresponds to the number of nodes in your network. A node with a radio channel set to “Network Default X” in node configuration will automatically change Channel Density if the settings for “Network Default X” are changed in Network Default configuration.Radio Preference Radio Preference instructs the routing protocol to prefer links on a radio (consider them lower cost than normal). This can be used to help shift traffic towards radios running on certain channels.None: None is the default factory setting. All links are considered equally.Medium: Routing protocol is more likely to use this radio to forward traffic.High: Routing protocol is significantly more likely to use this radio to forward traffic.A node with a radio channel set to “Network Default X” in node configuration will automatically change Radio Preference if the settings for “Network Default X” are changed in Network Default configuration.Each radio must be a assigned a center frequency and bandwidth. These settings determine the “channel” on which the node operates. Up to 16 Network Default channel settings may be configured to facilitate management of groups of radios of different nodes.

In order to use this capability, one or more Wave Relay® nodes must be setup as WRoIP gateways. A WRoIP gateway must be directly connected to an appropriately configured IP router. WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCEMENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTIONIP Mcast/Bcast Limit (advanced)Defines the maximum bandwidth allowed for IP multicast or broadcast network traffic received on the given interface and retransmitted onto the Wave Relay® network. Traffic in excess of this limit will be dropped. Units are megabits/sec (Mbps). To disable the limit, set to zeroMENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTIONWRoIP (advanced) WRoIP gateway nodes must have the WRoIP protocol enabled on the interface directly connected to the IP router. All other nodes should have the WRoIP protocol disabled. When the WRoIP protocol is enabled on an interface, the interface will no longer function as a normal Wave Relay® Ethernet port for connecting Ethernet devices: it will only work for connecting the IP router.Multicast Routing Mode (advanced)Selects pruning options for multicast traffic:IP Router Controlled (default):  All multicast packets travel to the cloud networkWave Relay Controlled:  Only subscribed multicast feeds are passed to the cloud network to reduce network traffic congestion.Netmask (advanced) Defines the netmask of the IP subnet specific to the directly connected IP router interfaceGateway (advanced) Defines the IP address of the IP router in the IP subnet spe-cific to the directly connected IP router interface - WRoIP protocol packets will be forwarded to this IP address in order to be sent over the IP network.

This feature is not available on all firmware versions.SIMPLE SA PACKET GENERATOR (SSPG) (ADVANCED)These settings exist for backwards compatability with an outdated protocol. See earlier versions of the manual for more information.Visualization Server (advanced)Defines the IP address to which nodes will send their visualization updates (may be either a multicast address [224.0.0.0,239.255.255.255] or the unicast address of a device running the visualization server.) - The factory default is a multicast address. When using multicast, each node sends visualization updates to the entire connected network. All nodes run a visualization server and receive updates from all other connected nodes. When using unicast, each node sends visualization updates to the selected address only. If the unicast address is the management IP address of a node, that node will run a visualization server to receive the updates. Visualization updates are sent from the management IP address, so the selected address must be reachable by all nodes with visualization enabled; it should be either in the same subnet or reachable through the default gateway. Multicast operation allows the most robust visualization for mobile networks because it provides true distributed operation with partitions and merges. Unicast operation requires all visualization users to be able to contact the selected server, but offers reduced network overhead for larger static networks.
